Quick answer: Interior design ad costs in Malaysia average RM25–70 cost-per-lead on Meta, but raw lead volume overstates the real number — only 30–55% of leads are budget-fit qualified once screened against your minimum project value. Cost per qualified enquiry, not cost per raw lead, is the metric that predicts revenue. Figures are from the shakalakaa Digital Ad Cost Index.
Worked example
A Malaysian interior design firm spending RM5,000/month on Meta ads at the midpoint cost-per-lead of RM47 generates roughly 106 raw leads. At a 30–55% budget-fit qualified rate, that's 32–58 leads actually worth a design consultant's time — the gap between raw and qualified is exactly why unfiltered lead volume is a misleading number for this vertical.
Methodology
These ranges are aggregated from the Interior Design accounts we manage in Malaysia, expressed as bands rather than single figures because real performance varies by targeting, offer and season. See the full Index methodology for how the whole dataset is maintained.

FAQ
Why do interior design leads need a "budget-fit qualified" filter?
Renovation enquiries range from RM20,000 apartment refreshes to RM500,000+ landed-property projects — an unqualified lead form captures both, and routing a mismatched enquiry to a design consultant wastes hours that a RM97-per-lead pre-qualification question would have saved.
Does this figure vary by residential vs commercial projects?
Yes, materially — commercial and F&B fit-out leads typically run at a different cost and qualification profile than residential renovation leads. This band reflects our blended residential-heavy account mix; ask for a category-specific quote during scoping.
